  The Entrenching tool, or E-tool as it's known today, has been in use since 1870, & has been used as a hand-to-hand combat weapon by every army it was ever issued to.  Troops sharpened the edges for easier digging & brush clearing, & soon found out that as wonderfully handy as it is in camp, it was just as good a limb lopper, melon splitter, & nut cracker of a whole different sort on the battlefield.  It doesn't malfunction, virtually never breaks, & it will do it's part until the arm that wields it wears out, any time or place you choose.

  A sling bow does wonders! You can definitely hunt deer with one.

  My favorite weapons are a stick, a rock and a knife! You don&apos;t always have knife on you, but a rock or stick can be found easily. My favorite stick is a shepards staff!

  My crossbows are awesome, but they&apos;re the most awkward things in the world to carry or pack.

  Great list. &nbsp;👍<br>I&apos;d like to suggest the standard metal meat tenderizer &quot;club&quot; for the vehicle, just in case an animal puts their paws inside your window. <br>Those hurt. &nbsp;Especially the pointy side. &nbsp;As for the flat side, (usually 2 sided) I use that side for pounding my tent stakes into the ground when camping.<br>Either way, it stays next to my driver side door, with a 16 inch Maglite. 🙂
